About the Course:

The CCSP is a professional certification in cloud and information security, providing competency in cloud computing infrastructure and security expertise for mid- to advanced-level professionals in IT security, architecture, GRC, audit, and engineering for those with a background in securing, managing, or providing services in cloud environments. Beyond the beginning CCSK from CSA, which the introductory day will review, the course will provide materials and guidance for the participant to prepare for the 4-hour, 125-question technical CCSP examination and credentialing (as well as the CCSK, if desired). A score of 700 on a 1000 scaled score base will be required to pass the exam, which can be scheduled via www.isc2.org at Pearson Vue testing sites, at participant cost. More information may be obtained from https://www.isc2.org/uploadedfiles/(isc)2_public_content/certification_programs/ccsp/ccsp-brochure.pdf and the more detailed candidate booklet, as well as the CSA’s information at https://cloudsecurityalliance.org/media/news/isc2-and-cloud-security-alliance-introduce-new-cloud-security-certification/ .
